Dopamine-induced hypothermia in morphine-dependent rats

The effect on body temperature of lateral ventricular injection of dopamine was studied in control rats and in rats rendered dependent on morphine by implantation of a subcutaneous pellet. Dopamine induced a significantly greater hypothermie response in animals of the morphine-dependent group when injected 72 hr after pellet implantation. The increased sensitivity of the morphine-dependent animals is probably the result of changes at the dopaminergic synapse; whether this is due to an increase in receptor sensitivity or is a reflection of an increase in receptors as a result of presynaptic inhibition of transmitter release is discussed.     

The effect of nitric oxide synthase blockade on responses to morphine in rat aortic rings

1 It has been suggested that opioids may play an indirect role in the regulation of the peripheral circulation through the control of nitric oxide (NO) release in vascular tissue. The current study was undertaken to investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) blockade on responses to morphine in phenylephrine (PE)- or KCl-precontracted rat aortic rings. 2 Morphine (3 x 10(-8) - 3 x 10(-5) M) administration did not cause any significant effect on basal tonus of endothelium-intact or endothelium-denuded preparations. Morphine produced concentration-dependent relaxation responses in endothelium-intact as well as in endothelium-denuded rat aortic rings precontracted by PE or KCl. Removal of endothelium did not significantly alter the relaxation responses to morphine. 3 The relaxant responses to morphine were significantly and partially inhibited by pretreatment of tissues with naloxone (NAL, 3 x 10(-5) M) for 5 min. The inhibitory effect of NAL on relaxant responses to morphine in PE- or KCl-precontracted rings did not differ significantly between endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded preparations. 4 Incubation of endothelium-intact or endothelium-denuded rat aortic rings with NOS inhibitor, Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 10(-4) M) for 20 min did not cause a significant inhibition on relaxation responses to morphine. 5 These findings confirmed the presence of opiate receptors in rat thoracic aorta, but suggested that mechanisms other than NO release play a role in the relaxant effect of morphine on rat aortic rings.

Role of nitric oxide produced by constitutive and inducible nitric oxide synthases in the mouse gastric fundus

In the present study, the role of nitric oxide (NO) produced by constitutive and inducible nitric oxide synthases (cNOS and iNOS, resepctively) on the contraction and relaxation of fundus in normal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mice was examined. A whole fundic ring isolated from mice pretreated with reserpine was mounted in an organ bath containing Krebs' solution with 0.001 mmol/L atropine. Rings were contracted initially by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; 0.03 mmol/L) before relaxation was induced using ATP (0.03 mmol/L), ADP (0.03 mmol/L), pentoxifylline (0.002 mmol/L), electrical field stimulation (EFS; 50 V, 1 msec, 50 Hz, 3 min) and L-arginine (0.05 mmol/L). All drugs and EFS induced significant relaxation of isolated rings. The relaxations induced were significantly inhibited by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 1.0 mmol/L). However, the iNOS inhibitors L-N(6)-(1-iminoethyl) lysine hydrochloride (L-NIL; 1.0 mmol/L) and amino guanidine (AMG; 1.0 mmol/L) had no significant effect on tissue relaxation. Then, the relaxant effects of 0.03 mmol/L ATP were tested on precontracted isolated fundic rings taken from 10 mg/kg LPS-treated animals. The non-selective NOS inhibitor L-NAME (10 mg/kg), the iNOS inhibitors L-NIL (3 mg/kg) and AMG (20 mg/kg) and betamethasone (0.1 mg/kg) were used to examine the role of NO produced by iNOS in the relaxation responses. It was found that the level of contraction induced by 0.03 mmol/L 5-HT in rings isolated from LPS-treated animals was significantly (P < 0.5) less than that in rings from untreated mice. However, precontracted tissues from LPS-treated mice were significantly relaxed by ATP and the relaxation response to ATP was significantly inhibited by L-NIL, ANG and betamethasone, but not by L-NAME. We suggest that, in LPS-treated mice, the production of NO from iNOS produces a reduction in the contractile response, as well as a decrease in NO formation by cNOS, resulting in changes to smooth muscle cell function.

Altered L-arginine/nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide pathway in the vascular adventitia of rats with sepsis

1. In recent studies, the vascular adventitia has been established as an important source of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and subsequent nitric oxide (NO) production, even more powerful than the media in response to certain inflammatory factors, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The adventitia has an independent L-arginine (L-Arg)/NOS/NO pathway and is involved in the regulation of vascular function. In the present study, we explored the changes in and the pathophysiological significance of the L-Arg/NOS/NO pathway in the adventitia of rats with sepsis. 2. Sepsis was induced by caecal ligation and puncture in order to observe changes in L-Arg transport, NOS gene expression and activity and NO generation in the vascular adventitia to determine the mechanism of activation of the L-Arg/NOS/NO pathway. 3. Severe sepsis resulted in severe disturbance of haemodynamic features, with decreased mean arterial blood pressure, brachycardia and inhibited cardiac function (decreased left ventricular +/-dP/dt(max)). Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was elevated threefold (P < 0.01) under anaesthesia. Rats with sepsis showed severe glucopenia and lacticaemia. Plasma levels of the inflammatory factors macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 and interleukin-8 were increased five- and 29-fold, respectively (P < 0.01). 4. In the adventitia of the thoracic and abdominal aortas, the L-Arg/NO pathway was similarly characterized: the uptake of [(3)H]-L-Arg was Na(+) independent, with the peak occurring at approximately 40 min incubation. Total NOS activity was largely calcium independent (> 90%). The V(max) of L-Arg transport in the sepsis group was increased by 83.5% (P < 0.01), but the K(m) value was not significantly different compared with controls. 5. The mRNA levels of cationic amino acid transporter (CAT)-1 and CAT-2B in the sepsis group were increased by 86 and 62%, respectively (both P < 0.01). Inducible NOS activity was increased 2.8-fold compared with controls (P < 0.01) and iNOS mRNA levels were elevated approximately sixfold (P < 0.01). The NO levels in the plasma and incubation media (incubation for 40 min) in the sepsis group were increased by 144 and 273%, respectively (both P < 0.01). 6. The Arg/NOS/NO pathway was activated in the vascular adventitia of rats with sepsis shock. The L-Arg/NOS/NO pathway in the aortic adventitia may play an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock.

Role of inducible nitric oxide synthase-derived nitric oxide in lipopolysaccharide plus interferon-gamma-induced pulmonary inflammation

Exposure of mice to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) increases nitric oxide (NO) production, which is proposed to play a role in the resulting pulmonary damage and inflammation. To determine the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-induced NO in this lung reaction, the responses of inducible nitric oxide synthase knockout (iNOS KO) versus C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice to aspirated LPS + IFN-gamma were compared. Male mice (8-10 weeks) were exposed to LPS (1.2 mg/kg) + IFN-gamma (5000 U/mouse) or saline. At 24 or 72 h postexposure, lungs were lavaged with saline and the acellular fluid from the first bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was analyzed for total antioxidant capacity (TAC), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, albumin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2). The cellular fraction of the total BAL was used to determine alveolar macrophage (AM) and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) counts, and AM zymosan-stimulated chemiluminescence (AM-CL). Pulmonary responses 24 h postexposure to LPS + IFN-gamma were characterized by significantly decreased TAC, increased BAL AMs and PMNs, LDH, albumin, TNF-alpha, and MIP-2, and enhanced AM-CL to the same extent in both WT and iNOS KO mice. Responses 72 h postexposure were similar; however, significant differences were found between WT and iNOS KO mice. iNOS KO mice demonstrated a greater decline in total antioxidant capacity, greater BAL PMNs, LDH, albumin, TNF-alpha, and MIP-2, and an enhanced AM-CL compared to the WT. These data suggest that the role of iNOS-derived NO in the pulmonary response to LPS + IFN-gamma is anti-inflammatory, and this becomes evident over time.     

Role of inducible nitric oxide synthase in transplant arteriosclerosis

1. Transplant arteriosclerosis is a major obstacle to long-term allograft survival. Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as a mediator in the development of this disease. 2. We and others have shown that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is up-regulated in allografts with transplant arteriosclerosis. Despite the acute cytotoxic effects produced by high levels of NO, a chronic increase in NO availability is protective against neointimal hyperplasia, mainly by suppressing the inflammatory cell recruitment and neointimal smooth muscle cell accumulation. 3. Currently, we have the technology to directly transfer the iNOS gene to allografts. We have demonstrated that this exciting strategy is feasible and therapeutic and may improve the long-term survival and function of allografts. Future challenges include optimizing the methods and the vectors of gene delivery.     

Role of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor in experimental colitis induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid in rats

1. The present study was designed to investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in modulating 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. 2. Damage scores and NO synthase (NOS) activity were measured. 3. The damage scores and NOS activity reached a peak on the 4th day after administration of TNBS solution (day 0), thereafter gradually decreasing, and were significantly higher than in the group treated with saline throughout the experimental period. 4. Subsequently, we divided the stage of colitis into two groups, one from day 0 to day 3 after induction of colitis, and the other from day 4 onwards. We evaluated the effects of the NOS inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), on TNBS-hapten-induced colitis and colonic mucosal blood flow. Two different methods of L-NMMA administration, from day 0 to day 3, and from day 4 onwards, were undertaken. 5. The damage score in the early L-NMMA treatment group was significantly higher than in the group without L-NMMA on day 14. In contrast, the damage score in the late L-NMMA treatment group was not significantly different from the group without L-NMMA. Colonic mucosal blood flow in the early L-NMMA treatment group was not significantly different from that in the late L-NMMA treatment group. 6. These data suggest that NO is important for inhibiting inflammation during the early stages.
